Mergers & Acquisitions – Due Diligence & Integration

Thursday September 22, 2016
8:00 a.m. - 1:00 p.m. (CDT)

Cost: Members $35, Non-Members $45, Optional Lunch $10

The NAEM Upper Midwest Chapter cordially invites you to the fall chapter meeting at General Mills. This meeting will have a panel discussion on due diligence including Phase I/II, data rooms, compliance reviews, asbestos surveys and working with attorneys. In addition, we will discuss best practices to address integration challenges such as culture, budgets, systems/tools, corporate standards, and sustainability.

Is a Phase 1 enough? How do you know when to stop the due diligence?

You have 800 documents to review in the next two weeks, how do you get it done?

Balancing acquisition risk with desires of the business – is there a middle ground?

What is the goal of due diligence vs integration?

Post-acquisition: How do we integrate company cultures? What about EHS/sustainability metrics?

The meeting will be followed by an optional networking lunch to allow continued discussion and networking with your peers. Come to learn and more importantly share what works well for your organization!

Each year NAEM’s annual conference convenes more than 550 attendees for a three-day showcase of the latest strategies corporate environment, health, safety and sustainability (EHS&S) leaders are using to keep employees safe, minimize their company’s environmental footprint and deliver business value through sustainability programs.
